Inspired by the works of Arthur C. Clarke, J.G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick, Infinite Summer sees Michael Lovett’s NZCA Lines “marry sci-fi futurism to personal intimacies” to produce what must surely be one of the funkiest apocalyptic concept albums of all time. Indeed, also featuring former Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley and drummer Sarah Jones (Hot Chip, New Young Pony Club), the follow-up to 2012’s self-titled debut may center on […]

Named after a term used for trained assassins he heard in a documentary on espionage, Skilled Mechanics sees trip-hop trailblazer Tricky assemble his own killer team for the most collaborative studio effort of his lengthy career. Some of those on board are no stranger to the world of Adrian Thaws, including regular vocalist Francesca Belmonte who lends her sultry tones to the eerie synth-balladry of “We Begin,” drummer Luke Harris […]

As you’d expect from a founding member of studious classical-electro outfit Clean Bandit, British-Ugandan vocalist/rapper Love Ssega certainly isn’t short on brainpower. Born and raised in South London, the 24-year-old graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, then made the brave decision to quit the aforementioned Grammy winners to finish his Ph.D. in laser sensing. Love Ssega (real name Ssegawa-Ssekintu Kiwanuka) is just as cultured as he […]

Judging by all the pre-release talk of shunning EDM, steering dance music back into a proper direction and making a piece of art, you’d expect Steve Angello’s second solo LP, Wild Youth, to be something of a game-changer. So it’s slightly baffling to hear that the Stockholm DJ has delivered the kind of unadventurous, generic and largely forgettable record he appears to be rallying against. Indeed, featuring guest appearances from […]

David Bowie, arguably one of the most influential figures in modern music for the past 40-plus years, died on Sunday, Jan. 10 after a battle with cancer. He was 69. While previous rumors of his death in years past were greatly exaggerated, the news has been confirmed by Bowie’s representatives and his son Duncan Jones (via Twitter). The following statement appears on Bowie’s official Facebook page: “David Bowie died peacefully […]

So after crowning Jamie xx’s “Loud Places” and Bob Moses’ Days Gone By as the greatest single and album of 2015 respectively, we now switch our attention to what we can expect to hear over the next twelve months in the world of dance/electronica. The first big album out of the blocks this year is Moth (Jan 22), the third album from alt-pop duo Chairlift, which judging by its first […]

Michael Fassbender is, arguably, one of the biggest stars on the surface of planet Earth, currently. He’s a leading man who can pull massive crowds into a theatre and simultaneously win numerous amounts of awards. We’ll have to wait till May 2016 to find out exactly what Fassbender, Kinberg, and company have in store for us. I, for one, am really excited to see what happens. I’m really into the […]

X-men Days of Future Past is just around the corner. And as such Bryan Singer is talking up a storm. About it and the next installment in the franchise X-men Apocalypse. One of the key questions is which cast would the film center around. Singer confirmed fairly early on that it would, in fact be the First Class cast. And now we’re getting some even more interesting news. Cyclops, Jean, […]

Hugh Jackman seems to be contemplating hanging up the adamantium, these days. He gave an interview with SFX Magazine where he spoke very candidly about how he’d probably not do more than one more Wolverine solo film. Check it out. I don’t know [what’s happening with Wolverine 3 yet]. We’re talking it through. I still am very ambitious for the character. And tonally I feel like we corrected the ship with […]

The X-men have a lot of members. Even just if you count the flagship teams like the All-New X-men, Uncanny X-men, and the Adjectiveless X-men. But that’s not including Cable’s X-Force, the Uncanny X-Force, Excalibur, X-Factor, the Xtreme X-men and the Young X-men. And those are just the major teams. There are literally thousands of X-men waiting to appear on the big screen. Well, X-men: Days of Future Past scribe […]

Brian Singers return to the popular X-men film series is on the horizon. The film is brimming with new and old mutants. It promises to be an exciting venture, and hopefully a halfway decent film as well. Empire Magazine has debuted a few new stills from the film. The feature Iceman, Kitty Pryde, Collosus, Sunfire, Magneto, a confused Wolverine, and Mystique. Check them out below:

Quicksilver is one of my favorite mutants. He might even be one of my favorite characters in all of comics. The character is endlessly entertaining and has such an interesting and compelling backstory and point of view. Pietro Maximoff, the son of Magneto, is arguably the heir apparent to the Marvel Universe and yet he can’t seem to get out of his own way. The character’s entitled attitude and cocky […]

For a while there it seemed like there was a new mutant being added to X-men: Days of Future Past every five minutes. Well, things have cooled down a bit. Or at least that’s what everyone thought. Nope. More mutants. More is better, right? More is better? More is always better, right? It’s better if we add a shit ton of mutant into this movie, right? Apparently so. Can you […]

Last week when Bryan Singer announced on twitter that the next X-men film would be titled Apocalypse and would be released in 2016 the internet sat up and took notice. Everyone has been talking about which X-men cast the film would feature and where in continuity the film would take place. Another heavy topic of discussion has been whether or not X1 X2 and X-men Days of Future Past director […]

Yesterday Brian Singer leaked that the next X-men film would be titled X-men: Apocalypse and it would be coming during the summer of 2016. Everyone has been quite taken aback by the revaluation due to the fact that these types of announcements usually happen during conventions or around the release of a film. Well, Singer doesn’t care. At all. He just said it on twitter. Good for him. Today the […]

It would appear as though The Wolverine is a success. Deadline is reporting that James Mangold is currently in negotiations to write a treatment and come on board as the director. We should hear soon if Mangold officially signs on. Fox is making a smart business move by green lighting a new Wolverine film. With next year’s Days of Future Past sure to ramp up the character’s popularity I’m sure […]

The day that X-fans have been waiting for is finally here. The trailer for the newest installment of the X-franchise, X-Men: Days of Future Past, has been released online. The trailer is stunning. Bryan Singer, the director of the first two installments, is returning to the directors chair in order to put the franchise back on its feet. Sure, First Class did well, but the reboot was hampered by old […]

Over the first three X-men films three different actors played the fan favorite X-woman Shadowcat aka Kitty Pryde. In the final installment of the trilogy Ms Pryde was played by relative unknown Ellen Page. Since X3, Page’s profile has skyrocketed. She’s become one of the most bankable leading ladies under 40. Well, it seems that at one point in time Joss Whedon wanted to do a Kitty Pryde spin off […]

Hugh Jackman is an amazing actor. He’s also rivaling Christopher Reeve as Superman and Sean Connery As Bond in the iconic department. Jackman has played Logan aka Wolverine in seven films. X-men, X2: X-men United, X-men 3: The Last Stand, X-men Origins: Wolverine, X-men: First Class, The Wolverine. Next year Jackman will be starring in the massive X-crossover film X-men: Days of Future Past, which will unite the cast from […]
